Weekly motivational #1

Hello everyone!

As the new week approaches I usually need lots of wisdom and motivation to help me have the best week I can and to live it the best way I should.

Most days I find it easy just to be average, to act normal and to blend in. Like they say I just want to go with the flow. Then I come home feeling average, feeling like nobody is noticing me or what I do... So I would normally get discouraged and the next day I would again do things with no passion, no motivation, no desire...

Have you felt like this? Well, so you must know what I am talking about :)

So I decided it was time I did something differently.
Usually challenging yourself is hard so I found a simple way to help me stay focused. This is what I want to share with you.

I started collecting motivational photos and quotes so I can put them on my phone and shuffle them on the home screen. That way every time I look at my phone (which I do more often than I would admit) I see something that helps me stay focused and gives me motivation to keep going.

It doesn't really matter what you need  motivation for - eat healthier, have faith in difficult situation, change a habit, start new season... It works all the time.

I usually browse the web on the topic I want and use keywords. As I am Christian I often save Bible verses on my phone. You can do that too it you can quote smart people, famous people, successful people... You name it.

This week I chose the topic in accordance to the blog's main theme.

When I was teenager I had problems with my weight and I did not like how my body looked, I didn't like my hair nor my face. I wanted to switch my body with an actress or a model. This all ended up in me being miserable all the time missing all the fun my friends had. Worse than that - I forgot my own value and lost my self respect . Thank God I manage to change this before I started doing drugs or having mindless one-night stands but I could have.

So I had to start reevaluating myself.
I had to learn how to love myself.
And I did but it was not easy.

It took lots of effort, I promise you!

So the sooner you decide to change the better.

Here is my lovely little compilation for this week. Most of the images were found trough the We <3 it app.

Beauty is defined by much more than the appearance itself. As they say, beauty is in the eye's of the beholder.It is not important how much make up you put on it's important how hard you push to challenge yourself.

Nothing more to say. There may be sorrow in the night but joy comes in the morning!

Just accept it! You ARE beautiful!

More than that - you are worth it. You deserve to be loved, you are so so precious human being that there is no one else like you in the whole world. Cool, huh!

Here I love the word game - do not waste time to look like anyone else because you can look the best if you are comfortable in your own skin. ;)

Just see my comments above :) You are one in a billion! Or maybe more!

Now, feel free to use my super smart statements as your daliy dose of motivation.

Feel free to comment if you do.

Remember - you are loved!
